IMPROVEMENT lN GLOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 219,859, dated September 23, 1879; application filed June 21, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY C. HATCH, of Straiord, in the county of Orange and State of Vermont, have invented certain Improvements in Hand-Knit Gloves, of which the following is a specification.

vMy invention relates to a new and useful improvement in handfknit gloves or mittens, whereby they are made more warm and durable.

It has been customary to make mittens or gloves partially lined, and this particularly so in machine-made work. n

I am aware that it has been proposed also to make a glove consisting of two hand portions inserted one within the other the two parts to be applied loosely to each other and united only at the inn er end of the wrist, which was to be of single thickness.

I have gottennp anew glove hand-knit and made double throughout all its parts, the wrist as well as the body of the glove.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows the front view of my glove, with a portion of the wrist and hand part cut away, so as to show the manner in which it ismade. Iig. 2 represents a cross-section on the line z g. Fig. 'represents the method otl making my device in the form ot a mitten.

A is the body of the glove; Af, of the mitten. B shows outside section, and B the double inner section.

- At the wrist C it will be observed that the ,glove part is knit' together, so that there is no separation there., It is also knitted together at the end of each ringer, at the thumbs, and

between the foreinger and thuinb,""`so that the parts will not separate at all, and cannot be separated. The wrist is double, as well as the body of the glove, thereby furnishing a better protection against the cold. It is knitted in the usual way by hand, all double, eX- cept just at the point where the parts are knitted together at the wrist.

My glove is distinguishable from others of its kind in that it is double in every part, in cluding the wrist, and in that the two parts are knitted together, not only at both ends of the wrist, but also at the ends of the lingers, so that in removing the glove from theiland the inside portion cannot be withdrawn from the outer.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. As a new article of manufacture, the herein-described knit glove, consisting of two separate thicknesses, united at the wrist and also at the ends of the fingers by knitting them together.

2. A knit glove having its lingers composed of two separate thicknesses of fabrics united at the ends only.

3. The knit glove consisting of the two thicknesses at all points, including the wrist, said thicknesses being knit together at both ends of the wrist and at the ends of the iingers.
